Freeze on closing terminal that runs wpa_supplicant

[Mathias Sogorski]

Hello!
I am running 8.0-RELEASE on a notebook with the Intel 3945 WiFi. I usually start wpa_supplicant [...]& on a terminal when entering gnome followed by the dhcpcd call to use the WiFi connection. After having finished work and closing the terminal that runs wpa_supplicant, everything freezes and I have to turn the power off. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Mathias
